Good Boost

A personalised wellness programme to help you move and feel better.

Good Boost is a multi-award-winning social enterprise working with community, leisure and health teams to deliver therapeutic exercise and self-management support in the heart of the community.

Good Boost uses smart technology to create personalised land and water-based exercises in a fun, social environment.

Designed for anyone living with joint pain or long-term health conditions, it offers a supportive way to improve your health and manage your wellbeing.

What is Good Boost?

Good Boost provides both Land and Aquatic exercise programmes.

Low-level, rehab-focused exercise, designed to improve function and symptoms at a particular body area (lower-back, shoulder, hip, knee).

Participants can also choose to work on a rehab aim such as improving balance, strength or cardiovascular fitness.

Although each participant has their own tailored exercise programme, Good Boost is available in a group format with the support and motivation of a facilitator; participants feel connected and supported, addressing feelings of social isolation and having fun along the way.

Who is Good Boost for?

Classes are designed specifically for people living with musculoskeletal conditions and concurrent health problems and anyone wanting a gentle road back to fitness.

Exercises are delivered through tablet computers using Good Boost’s unique AI technology to generate bespoke exercise programmes.

Each participants’ health, symptoms and functional ability are considered to create paced, achievable exercise programmes, building confidence with exercise and physical activity.

The Good Boost Aqua programme considers water depth and user confidence, is appropriate for non-swimmers and can be a great way to build confidence in the water.

Good Boost Land can be customised for seated, standing or floor exercise to provide an accessible format for all users including those with physical restriction or disability.
